The antidote to the flawed China policy of the past is not decoupling or moral grandstanding, but managed interdependence.

The United States Treasury Secretary, Bessent, said that the Donald Trump administration will not add new tariffs on Chinese goods to stop China from purchasing Russian oil unless EU member states move first to impose heavy duties independently.

The Taiwanese and Chinese foreign ministers are both visiting Europe at the same time this week, a rare alignment of schedules in the same location given Beijing's efforts to stop Taipei from having any form of foreign diplomatic engagements.

Trump warns Europe to stop buying Russian oil, calls EU sanctions weak, and suggests 50–100% tariffs on China to end Ukraine war.

This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a clear message for Ukraine and its European allies: Moscow can keep going, because we have powerful friends.

The recent spate of summits between Trump and other world leaders has provided a measure of the US administration that Beijing is happy to take.

China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have formed an “alliance of autocrats” working to dismantle the U.S.-led world order.

As Russia steps up its aggression, President Donald Trump said he’s ready to move forward with additional sanctions on Moscow, but only if NATO does as well, and agrees to stop buying Russian oil.
